[map module] map module and lightbox

Hi!

Edit: found this, http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1560357&group_id=152389&atid=784164

I need your help. I'm not developer (or noob if you want.

I use the map module (witch is a great module) and I want to customize (or hack if you want it.

So, actually when I clic on a marker, the bubble appear with a picture. Ok, great. Now if I click on the picture, I'm redirected to the album page. And if I want to see another picture in another place i must go back to the map, search again on the map (zoom etc...).

Is it possible to modify default.inc links to open album's pictures in lightbox and not be redirected to album page?

$map['infowindows'][0]="'<div style=\"width:200px\"><a href=\"'+itemLink+'\">'+title+'<\/a><br/>'
+'<a href=\"'+itemLink+'\"><img src=\"'+thumbLink+'\" width=\"'+thw+'\" height=\"'+thh+'\" alt=\"'+title+'\" style=\"max-width:200px;max-height:200px;\"/><\/a>'
+'<br/><font color=black><b>".$module->translate("Date:")."<\/b> '+created+'<\/font>'";

Where can I add rel="lightbox[gallery]" into the link? Is it possible to load scripts in default.inc?

Like that, when I close the lightbox window, the map hasn't move... and I don't need to search again.

Thanks for your help.

edit: I have found that in this thread: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/54063 and it is exactly what I want to do:

An example that works (not in gallery): http://www.joshcastellano.com/maps/

I just don't understant where to load scripts (not in default.inc file I think) and how to add rel='lightbox' in <a ref > ("" or \"\" or ...?)

Hi Floridave

Thank you to help me.

I use lightbox to display pictures in albums and it works great.
To get it working I used this http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:Lightbox. I made a matrixlightbox theme and it works fine (I don't use the module).

I make your test by adding rel=\"lightbox\" where you said in default.inc and it don't seem to work, the thumbnail link to the album, without lightbox effect.

I also try rel=\"lightbox[gallery]\", same result...

so, I then try to load lightbox scripts into MapHeader.tpl

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="{g->theme url="includes/css/lightbox.css"}" />	
<script type="text/javascript" src="{g->theme url="includes/js/prototype.js"}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{g->theme url="includes/js/effects.js"}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{g->theme url="includes/js/lightbox.js"}"></script>

...same result...

any idea?

Hello Guys!

Very happy to say the that little test with thumbnail works! Thanks a lot!

Here is the code I used:

a rel=\"lightbox\" onclick=\"myLightbox.start(this);return false;\" href=\"'+thumbLink+'\"><img src=\"'+thumbLink+'\"...

I add onclick=\"myLightbox.start(this);return false;\" after I read this thread: http://groups.google.fr/group/Google-Maps-API/tree/browse_frm/month/2007-02/8426909d7c5b47fe?rnum=181&_done=%2Fgroup%2FGoogle-Maps-API%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fmonth%2F2007-02%3F

Don't understand exactly what it does but it work...

So, now lightbox is ok for the thumbnail. Now, do you know how to show in lightbox all resized pictures in an album from the marker of the album?

Well, it's not as easy as I thought--I thought everything was concentrated in one location, but it will have to touch a bunch of files. I'll still try to get you something to make it work.

itemLink and thumbLink are in the Javascript CreateMarker function in MapHeader.tpl (around line 623). But I'll have to tweak the PHP files to provide the resized image link to the Smarty template (.tpl) file and then add a parameter to the CreateMarker function to accept that image link, and then modify the locations that call CreateMarker as well as provide a tweak for the infowindow template so that it only tries to use the image link for photos, not for albums (which don't have a preferred resize). Phew!

It's certainly possible. Don't worry, I'll get you a list of the changes you need to make. I need to find a bit of time, but it won't take too long. Several of the changes should (eventually) go into the main codebase so that it's easier for people to use the resized images on the map page.

I don't think I'll put the full lightbox stuff in the map module. I'll just make it easier for users to do it. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you on this yet. I've been working long hours and I had a full weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to do it this week.

itemLink is created in modules/map/classes/mapHelper.class, in the function getGPSItems() Then it gets passed into the MapHeader.tpl as the $point array, and is then provided to the CreateMarkers Javascript function.

Sorry, guess I dropped the ball for you. I'm still planning on making those changes if you want to use lightbox, but I don't know when. Anyway, glad you got it working.
